Small Agency of the Year, Southeast, Gold: Dalton Agency

Florida-Based Agency Puts Altruism on the Forefront

Many agencies say they give back to the community, but Jacksonville, Fla.-based Dalton Agency means it. With the yearly Dalton Cares program, this 75-person shop holds an annual contest for one nonprofit to earn a pro bono campaign.

"All the services, all the creative -- we even write them a check," said Jim Dalton, CEO and president.

The agency, now with six locations, earned $9.3 million in revenue last year from clients including the American Heart Association, McDonald's co-ops, Point Blank Body Armor and NYCM Insurance.
